This is a special day for Ukrainian families in our area.


Today is Ukrainian Christmas Eve.

 

Lillian Pohrebniuk from Roseau River says her family celebrates both the English Christmas and Ukrainian.

 

They open presents on the 25th and then this weekend is more of a religious celebration.

 

The Christmas Eve supper consists of twelve meatless dishes.

 

The tradition is that after the supper, they go to church and then go carolling.
